SHREDDERS, “Entertainment” P.O.S, Sims, Paper Tiger, and Lazerbeak recruited James Gundersen to work on their new video, which keeps being a good idea. “Entertainment” is off Dangerous Jumps. Ingeborg von Agassiz, “Oh, The Hillside” A charming tune for winter or any other season. Duluth, Minn. artist Ingeborg von Agassiz will include this on her upcoming debut album, O […]

Maple & Beech, “Downtwaa/Uptwaa” . Maple & Beech just keep doing their thing. I’ve grown to expect shimmering, unafraid art from their music and videos, and they deliver every time. Band members Tyler Tholl and Pete James Johnson are where weird meets cool, and Tyler’s brother Justin Tholl joined the fray this time to create […]

Dizzy Fae, “Don’t Hate For Me” Well, this is fantastic. Dizzy Fae‘s new video also serves as a heartening peek at the next stage of her career. It’s the only song listed on her Spotify profile, which signals commitment to this alternative-pop direction; a taste of her upcoming mixtape, which is due out in January; […]

Chastity Brown, “Whisper” Chastity Brown shares her song “Whisper,” from Silhouette of Sirens, accompanied by a sweet love story.

Strumming her baritone ukulele, […]

Al Church, “Tambourine Feel” Al Church and his band dive feet-first into “Tambourine Feel” — in more ways than one, since the video for this single was filmed underwater. Watch for Church’s new album Night Games later this year. John Maus, “Touchdown” Minnesota native John Maus must be the encouraging sort. “Go for the touchdown,” he […]

BdotCroc, “One Day” As the wind blows through BdotCroc‘s hair, she unleashes a gale-force rap song about growth, her story, and being “humble with an attitude.” VSZN‘s direction shines during the last minute of the video, when this true performer darts behind flame and firelight. Joey Van Phillips, “Sights On (feat. Cecil Otter and Jacob Mullis)” […]

Shredders, “Flipping Cars” The boys are back with another mind-bending music video. Shredders‘ debut album, Dangerous Jumps, comes out Nov. 3. William Within, “Amuse Me” William Within‘s next and final show will take place on Sunday at the Triple Rock. If you need encouragement to go see this underrated local band, watch dance trio Kelvin Wailey […]

Lizzo, “Truth Hurts” Lizzo doesn’t have a new album officially announced, but she seems to be ramping up to something with “Truth Hurts” and “Water Me,” the two singles she’s released on Atlantic in the last couple of months. Maybe we’ll know what it is by the time she plays the Myth on New Year’s Eve. […]
